Results for Remote Mobile Teams in the NT electorate of Lingiari. Number columns are first % Yes, then % No and total votes. #auspol #referendum2023

This is really interesting in many ways.

6 months ago, if you had have told me that these communities would be less than 90% yes I would've been surprised.

Don't forget these remote sites will still include non-indigenous Australians who were in the area too. So it may be still a little imprecise, but highly indicative nonetheless.

Yeah, but I had thought the non-indigenous living in those communities would still be yes voters.

Stands to reason, for sure.
